The difference between ALL and EVERYTHING | FIX, MANAGE, MAKE IT and FIGURE OUT - AIRC123 In this episode we speak about the difference between ALL and EVERYTHING | FIX, MANAGE, MAKE IT and FIGURE OUT Más podcasts para mejorar tu ingles en: http://www.inglespodcast.com/ More podcasts to improve your English at: http://www.inglespodcast.com/ We recieved a Voice message from Hellen Jimenez from Costa Rica. As Helen said, you can find a free grammar reference at http://www.mansioningles.com/ . There is also grammar in our free courses and
ALL and EVERYTHING = 100% of something or of a group ALL All + uncountable/plural countable nouns Pronoun + all All of + object form of pronoun (Compare with Pronoun + all) We all love holidays / All of us love holidays. It all semed a bit strange / All of it seemed a bit strange. They all came to see us. / All of them came to see us. All = all of + determiner (the, this, those, my, etc.) “All of” is more common in American Eng. eg. Craig’s eaten all (of) the chocolate. The listeners had heard all (of) my jokes before. BUT COMPARE:
All that matters is that YOU improve your English. (the only thing that matters.....) All (that) I ever wanted was for Berta to love me. All he wants now is to get a divorce. 'All' often goes with 'that' - We say Is everything finished? ~ Yes, everything is finished. (Not XIs all finishedX)
Everything = All + relative clause EVERYTHING is usually used as a pronoun: Everything substitutes 'other things', for example, "I had to reply to emails, make some images, record a podcast, phone my co-worker, post on Facebook.......but I didn't have enough time and I didn't do everything. All = Everything/Everybody - dramatic/ poetic/ old-fashioned English All = nothing more/the only thing(s)
Mamen - Biescas, Huesca
(mend, repair) - arreglar, reparar: “I took my broken watch to the watchmaker to have it fixed.” “This company is losing money and we’d better fix it soon before it’s too late!” “I need to fix our ceiling fan." Fix (attach) 'I'll fix this piece of paper to the wall.” Fix a price - 'We've fixed the price of our First Certificate course download at 17 euros.' ( http://store.mansioningles.net/downloads/first-certificate-course/ ) Fix a time: “We have to fix a time tomorrow for our meeting.” Fix food (make/prepare food) “Can I fix you a sandwich?” / "Say, can I fix you a drink." “Fix your eyes on this.” “The game/election/boxing match was fixed.” (fix=arreglar)
(organize) - dirigir, manejar, gestionar: “Henry manages a small family business.” “In the UK, my sister managed a small team of 4 office clerks.” manage (control): “How do public school teachers manage a class of 30 or 40 kids?” manage (get by, survive) - arreglarse: “I don't know how single parents can manage if they're both looking after children.” manage (succeed) - conseguir, lograr: “Can you manage to get there by one o’clock?” / “It's difficult to release a podcast episode every single week, but we manage.” FIGURE OUT - a puzzle/a solution figured out (solve) - resolver, solucionar: “Today’s crossword is too hard to figure out.” / “It's difficult for me to figure out maths problems.” ('work out' is more British English) “They lost their home to the bank and had to figure out what to do next.” figure out (understand) - comprender - 'I finally figured out why my ceiling fan wouldn't stop.' 'I couldn't figure it out' / I couldn't work it out' MAKE IT = attend/come/arrive/get to the end/survive make it (succeed): llegar a lo más alto, triunfar: “When you win an award for your podcast, you know you've finally made it!” make it (make sure that it is) - asegurar que: "Bring me a cup of tea and make it snappy!" - 'Make it quick.' Make it (arrive on time): “I’m having a party at my house tomorrow. I hope you can make it?” / “I thought I was going to miss the beginning of the film, but I made it.” “We got lost on our way to Peter’s house. We made it as far as the park.” “Listen to me, your Captain, men! This is going to be a hard battle. Not all of you will make it.” (survive) Voice message from Ana from Mexico - not clear audio, but if Ana took the time to record it, we want to play it.
